###Visual Stream Sampler This is a browser-based stream sampling simulator utilizing the concept of Reservoir Sampling.
####Uses
####Usage
- Provide either an input string or specify the URL of a random data set (by default a link to a file generated from random.org.
- Select the desired length of the sample, and click 'Start Simulation'.
- As stream data is received a random and representative sample set of the given size is picked. The most common samples are also displayed in the Analytics section.
- You can stop the simulation at any point.
####Tests
- There is a built-in test harness for some of the critical functionality. Visit test to see the results.
####Known Issues
-
Please use a current browser. I didn't spend any time on compatability, so you'll need native JS Promises and other cool magic. I don't think IE will work. I'm testing in Chrome 42. My guess is you'll need at least Chrome 36, FF 31.

This is a WIP, so expect it to be a little buggy (and not pretty)
